An early senior moment

UNLV head coach Lon Kruger shunned the idea of starting all five seniors on Senior Night but he didn’t waste any time making sure all five saw some game action.

The big three of Wink Adams, Rene Rougeau and Joe Darger started as usual and sixth man Mo Rutledge was the first sub in two minutes later. And seldom-used walk-on Rob Ketchum entered the game at the 16:02 mark and attempted a mid-range jumper that missed.

The strategy to get all five seniors in the game early may have backfired, however. UNLV led 6-3 when Ketchum  came into the game but Air Force then went on an 8-0 run to take a 11-6 lead with 11:52 remaining.
